    Mixed Last Slot - F2L Trick and Blockbuilding option

    EDIT: Whats the correct syntax to get an cube drawn? Consider the case when just two F2L slots are left, an edge of on slot and an corner of the other slot is already filled. Doing a D-layer move , doing XLS (mixed last slot), undoing D move : is an obvious strategy to finish F2L with just...

    Advanced Petrus / block building

    Hi! First some background: I've been cubing for a while now and even though I've learnt some other methods, I still use Petrus for F2L + EO, which gives me just a few OLL cases and then full PLL, which I know. With this, my best average is roughly 27 seconds. I feel that what I need to...

    Color nutrality

    I am wondering if there are are any advantages of being not color nutral, i struggle to remember what color i solved the cross on when i am doing f2l. If it was the same color I wouldn't have that problem. Should i stop being color nutral? Please help

    The "Request an Alg" Thread

    So, I'm working on another lolmethod. If someone can help me with alg-finding, that would be awesome; others can now and later use this thread to request help with alg-generation/finding for odd systems that they're working on. What I need is this: The flipped edge ELS cases with each 6 CPLL...

    F2l is slow???

    I just learned f2l yesterday and I can do it now by memory but it dramatically increases my solve time. I feel like I have to think about what moves I am going to do and I also feel like I'm constantly searching for pieces around the cube. Will I get better over time? How Do you guys know where...

    [Unofficial] 3x3 F2L Slow Turning Sub20 AO12

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7sC-kaz62E Looking ahead and turning at a consistent pace is very important in F2L. In this video, I demonstrate that by looking ahead and turning at a steady pace, you don't need to turn extremely fast during F2L to achieve sub 20 averages. Average: 18.55...

    [Help Thread] F2L Intuitive vs. Algorithm Solving

    I've been cubing for a few days, and have gotten my beginner's method solves to sub-1:30 with relative ease. In the effort to further improve my times, I researched speedcubing methods and decided to pursue Fridrich for the time being. When doing the beginner method and solving the...

    One-Answer 3x3x3 Question Thread

    Is this a thread where I get to ask a question? :confused: What makes an alg a "2-gen?" I've heard this term and I don't understand.

    [Help Thread] Xcross Tips and Discussion

    I still have yet to see an EFFECTIVE (one that helps one intuitively figure out how to build an...) x-cross tutorial on YouTube. I understand how the dynamics of it is supposed to work; build a 2x2x2 WHILE solving the cross, but how does one keep track of the pieces fast enough to be able to...

    [Help Thread] Colour Neutrality Discussion

    I'm just curious, who here is color neutral? I'm totally color neutral for speedsolving, except for K4 and K5,(but I'm not very good at either of those methods anyway.) I think that has a lot to do with how I first learned to solve the cube. I learned a beginner's method from a book from the...

    Hi Guys, 2 weeks ago i bought a cube (3x3) now iám learning solving this via fridrich. I can solve the F2L but now i'am stuck at the OLL and PLL part of Fridrich. I found a couple of sheets with the algorithms from OLL and PLL but eeuh... did you guys realy learn this all out of your...
